We're happy to announce a couple of new changes to your YouTube channels, based on the feedback and suggestions you've given to us.

The first is the creation of a "Recent Activity" box on your YouTube channel. This box will provide your viewers with a snapshot of recent changes you've made to your public channel, making your channel more dynamic, fresh and timely. For example, if you recently added a new favourite to your channel, visitors can find this favourite in the new Recent Activity box (as well as in the usual "Favourites" box). The Recent Activity box will also consolidate the separate "My Recent Ratings" and "My Recent Comments" boxes into this single activity window.

As always, we give you maximum control over how your channel is configured on the channel design page. And now, the Recent Activity privacy settings page (also available in the upper-right corner of the Recent Activity box) lets you choose what activity you want to appear in the Recent Activity box. It's important to note that we've set your initial Recent Activity settings according to what you already publicly show on your channel today - so, for example, if you're not already showing the Favourites box on your channel, then the Recent Activity box won't suddenly start showing new favourites you make.

Regarding bulletins, we've listened to you, and most of you didn't see the value in bulletins as they are today. So, we're taking a first step to make bulletins more useful. Although the bulletin box will be going away, now you can broadcast a bulletin directly to your channel visitors in your Recent Activity box. This not only provides a fun place to shout out personal updates and news, but also provides an additional way to communicate and engage with your channel's fans.

We hope you like these changes, and are always eager to hear your feedback - so please feel free to share your thoughts with us!

well, to all the people bithcing about no buletin box anymore, $10 says you ar ethe people who constantly annoy the fucking shit out of everyone else by posting random, unecessary shit, and for that, i thank you all in the youtube team!

I'm gonna sound like a geriatric, but...Just when I get used to things, they bloody change again!Where the video length is looks like it's saying "it's 4:05, you know? Do you REALLY want to use that 4:05 watching THIS!?"

i agree with some of the ppl down there yu keep fuckin wit everythin stop changing stuff youtube waz fine untill you had to change fuckin stuff around now bulletins are gone and the only thing your doing is pissin ppl off! IIIV﻿

I think it's crap, especially because the bulletins box is gone...none of these changes were necessary at all, so YouTube can you PLEASE change the site back to how it was before. Even most of the other users are saying to change it back, and the "Recent Activity" box was unnecessary, too. If you receive more comments saying "Where's the bulletins box??" then us YouTube users would be happy if we were able to post bulletins the easier way, but if you want you can still keep the "Recent Activity" box. That is if OTHER user want to keep it, but what I really want is the bulletins box back.

its a good idea in some respects. however posting and recieving bulletins seems to have just dissapeard. in the end i dont really care if the new system stays or goes, as long as the bulletins are put back.

youtube is slowly taking away the rights of its users. slowly, the golden droplets of free speech and liberty are dripping from the chalice of advertisement-run youtube.be warned.the people of youtube will not stand by and watch their beloved youtube fall into a once glorious past. neither will the people of youtube allow what they have come to love so much be destroyed in an infantile bid to reconstruct its once glorious name. while you attempt to sabotage youtube, and make it fit for commercial harvest, you attempt to sabotage the exchange of ideas and the wondrous notion of anonymity and "blind judgement" so to speak, of the internet.

over the past few days, the changes have been increasing, and he people of youtube are not happy.like the 3rd estate of the French revolution, the people demand change, and the fulfillemnt of liberty and their own hard bought free speech. should youtube abuse its power, a revolution will be the answer.

I really do like the recent activity box, but nobody is going to be able to see what you have to say unless they see your channel. I say bring back the bullitan box because that is how a lot of us communicated, and it was fun. So please bring back the bulletin box and keep the recent activity box.

Pavarotti4eva and teresan75 are right it's all about the money and not the users. The recent activity box is a testimony to reduction of user rights - we should have the option to remove it, but we don't.

I didn't mind the Bulletin box it's the couple of stupid messages coming up time and time again like youtube deleting peoples accounts and the fake friend message. I just wish we could have our animated backgrounds and icons back still don't understand why that was changed.

the bulletin box was quite usefull for people who used! bring it back! now my sent messages box will be flooded because I have to send so many people my videos, when instead I could just post a little bulletin!

is there an easy way for the poster/uploader to find out who is watching our vids, favouriting and sharing them? if not, i think there should be! i think posters should be notified when their vids are favourited or posted onto other sites such as facebook and myspace... thankyou!

You are taking everything away, you have removed MY PHOTOS from you tube becuase SOMEONE ELSE has complained about copyright. These were 100% my work. How dare you infringe my rights to post by taking away my work. You didnt question it, you didnt inform me, you did nothing to give me a say in the REMOVAL OF MY OWN WORK, MY HARD EARNT WORK.

how the hell do I get to this page without YouTube redirecting me?http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=sDFlZe7FwJI

It is rather frustrating to have YouTube redirect me to http://au.youtube.com/blog?entry=sDFlZe7FwJI which resembles blank white page. If I wanted YouTube Australia's blog, I would have gone there. I wanted the US blog with the article that actually interests me. I ended up getting to the page using CoralCDN, but surely there is an easier way?
